Distributive Conflicts and Economic Development in Asian Perspective

私营部门的分配冲突通常不会在私营部门内部完成，但往往涉及政府干预。本研究对私营部门分配冲突如何聚集以及政府如何应对分配冲突进行了历史和比较调查。国家和地区之间，以及每个国家的不同历史阶段之间，关于分配冲突的国有-私营部门界面存在很大差异。在二战后的日本，私营部门的分配需求以每个行业的利益为代表，政府通过为每个行业指定特定的局来回应这一点。在二战后的巴西，分配冲突以阶级利益或生产要素所有权为代表。对此，政府采取了干预最低工资确定或其他措施。在东亚其他国家，类似于日本的界面在20世纪80年代以后也出现了，尤其是在泰国。然而，在韩国，各阶级之间的分配冲突在战后的岁月里愈演愈烈。关于分配冲突的国有-私营部门界面模式对宏观经济稳定以及经济的整体治理具有重要影响。我们已经研究了巴西的通货膨胀与界面的关系，以及1990年后日本的泡沫破裂与之前高增长时代的界面模式的关系。

Distributive conflicts in the private sector do not usually complete themselves within the private sector, but quite often involves government intervention. This study has conducted a historical and comparative investigation about how distributive conflicts in the private sector is aggregated and how the government responded to the distributive conflicts.The state-private sector interface regarding distributive conflicts differs considerably among countries and regions as well as among historical phases of each country. In Japan after WWII, distributive demand by the private sector was represented by the interests of each industry, and the government responded to this by specifying specific bureaus for each industry. In Brazil after WWII, distributive conflicts was represented by the interests of classes or by the ownership of production factors. The government responded this by intervening into minimum wage determination or other measures. In other countries in East Asia, interface similar to Japan has emerged after the 1980s, especially in Thailand. However, in Korea distributive conflicts among classes have been intensified throughout the postwar years.The pattern of state-private sector interface regarding distributive conflicts has significant bearings on the macroeconomic stability as well as on the overall governance of the economy. We have investigated how inflation is related to the interface in the Brazilian case, and how the bubble burst in Japan after 1990 has been related to the pattern of interface in the preceding high-growth-era.
